First multi-opposition recoveries of large-orbit LSST TNOs
Chantal Hemmann, Brett Gladman, Justine Obidowski +2
We report 2026 CFHT second-opposition recovery observations of three large-orbit Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) discovered by the Vera C. Rubin Telescope's Legacy Survey of Space a…
Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation
Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173
We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…
LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space
Samantha M. Lawler, Mark Comte, Rosemary E. Pike +7
We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the Plutinos, trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion res…
Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey
Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41
We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…
OSSOS. VII. 800+ trans-Neptunian objects - the complete data release
Michele T. Bannister, Brett J. Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +33
The Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS), a wide-field imaging program in 2013-2017 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, surveyed 155 deg of sky to depths of $m_r =…
Col-OSSOS: Colors of the Interstellar Planetesimal 1I/`Oumuamua
Michele T. Bannister, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +10
The recent discovery by Pan-STARRS1 of 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), on an unbound and hyperbolic orbit, offers a rare opportunity to explore the planetary formation processes of other s…
Consequences of a Distant Massive Planet on the Large Semi-major Axis Trans-Neptunian Objects
C. Shankman, JJ Kavelaars, S. M. Lawler +2
We explore the distant giant planet hypothesis by integrating the large semi-major axis, large pericenter Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the presence of the giant planets and an…
Characterization of Seven Ultra-Wide Trans-Neptunian Binaries
Alex H. Parker, JJ. Kavelaars, Jean-Marc Petit +3
The low-inclination component of the Classical Kuiper Belt is host to a population of extremely widely-separated binaries. These systems are similar to other Trans-Neptunian binari…
Pencil-Beam Surveys for Trans-Neptunian Objects: Novel Methods for Optimization and Characterization
Alex H. Parker, JJ. Kavelaars
Digital co-addition of astronomical images is a common technique for increasing signal-to-noise and image depth. A modification of this simple technique has been applied to the det…
Kuiper Belt Object Occultations: Expected Rates, False Positives, and Survey Design
Steven Bickerton, Doug Welch, JJ Kavelaars
A novel method of generating artificial scintillation noise is developed and used to evaluate occultation rates and false positive rates for surveys probing the Kuiper Belt with th…
